Perseid meteor shower returns for 2021.

Posted Aug 03, 2021

Conditions look good for this year’s Perseid meteor shower, though the event may be hampered by wildfire season in the Pacific Northwest!

The Perseids will peak Aug. 11 to 13, according to the American Meteor Society, when viewers should be able to see about 50 meteors per hour under clear, dark skies.

Jim Todd, director of space science education at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, said the evening of Thursday, Aug. 12, should offer the best viewing, though meteors should be strong Wednesday through Friday morning next week.

After so many years of not seeing a damned thing I became permanently attached to Jamesons , oldie music and skeeter repellant with an occasional glimpse of my buxom neighbor skinny dipping in her pool .  
There's no such thing as meteor showers in the NE.

Sounds like her flotation devices will pass OSHA regulations.
